| Health Economics for Developing Countries: A Survival Kit (London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, 1998, 134 p.) |
The material in this publication was first developed for the 1986 Seminar on Health Economics and Health Financing in Developing Countries held at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine in association with the London School of Economics and Political Science and the World Health Organization. The support of these organizations for this and subsequent seminars is gratefully acknowledged. In addition, support from the Overseas Development Administration has enabled the original material to be further developed and published in this form for wider dissemination: for this we are most grateful.
The original material was written not only by one of the current authors (Anne Mills) but also by several colleagues whose important contributions we would like to acknowledge. Their names and main contributions are as follows:
